“There were some updates in clinical

care and research in areas outside my expertise (particularly cognition this

year) which were new to me; some of these aspects may be pertinent to my work. Due to

at least one of the presentations, I will be further evaluating the practice of lumbar punctures

in some of the other countries where I do collaborative research.”

Bridgette Jeanne Billioux, MD, National Institute of Health

(NIH)

“I am a second-

year medical student,

and I am mainly interested in

basic and translational research.

Attending the conference allowed me to

realize the various research areas within

neurology and neurosciences that I can

work on in the future.”

Fady Guirguis, BS,

Western University of

Health Sciences

“I was interested in the new

treatments available for migraine,

MS and Alzheimer’s disease and

there was a good discussion of these

in at the meeting.”

Aninda Acharya, MD,

St. Louis University

“I have a better understanding of the

communication process for advocating

about patient-related issues and will be taking

more initiatives to contact elected officials

regarding issues affecting my patients.”Amy Licis, MD, MSCI,

Washington University in St. Louis

“There are a lot of new and exciting treatment and testing

strategies that will aid in being able to

better diagnose patients, start treatment

earlier, and have better outcomes with the treatment.”Rebecca Fredrich, MSN, Golden Valley Medical

“The expansion of the

knowledge concerning amyloid,

synuclein and tau deposition in

degenerative neurological disease will

better allow me to explain these disorders

and their progression to my patients”

Kenneth Bergmann, MD,

Drug Administration

ANA’s Policy to Maintain the Integrity of Accredited CMEPlanning and implementing activities to advance the practice and research of our neurologist-members requires diligence, skill, and adequate resources. The value commercial supporters and sponsors bring to ANA allows us to recruit top researchers and professionals in the field to educate members attending our events, and provide adequate space and resources for these educational activities to occur. Managing use of the funding supplied by commercial supporters, advertisers, exhibiters, and sponsors requires a delicate balance between maintaining purity and sterility of education, while at the same time offering value to those organizations that provide much-needed funding for our events. To guide us in this quest, we have developed this policy.

At the highest level, ANA meticulously adheres to the ACCME’s Standards for Commercial Support: http://www.accme.org/requirements/accreditation-requirements-cme-providers/standards-for-commercial-support. These standards dictate that at a fundamental level, accredited CME must be provided in a sterile environment. Promotion, solicitation, branding, or alike is strictly prohibited in any location (whether it be virtual or real-world) where CME is provided; this especially pertains to ACCME-defined Commercial Interests. More specifically, ANA outlines the following:

1. ANA defines the CME Activity as the educational sessions conducted during the annual membership meeting, or activities provided via the website online education center.

2. Meals that occur in the same space just prior to, during or immediately after the CME activity are considered part of the CME activity and may not include any commercial interest branding.

3. ANA does not consider social/networking events or meals held outside of the CME Activity to be a part of the CME activity.

4. ANA makes all decisions regarding disbursement of funds to pay all expenses for the meeting.

5. ANA does not apply funding received from ACCME-defined Commercial Interests to subsidize fees for meeting attendees, travel, lodging or other attendance at the event. Scholarships for member attendees are paid out of the registration fees or through allocation of member dues, as part of a scholarship program that is core to the mission of the organization.

6. ANA may use commercial support to pay for speaker expenses and honoraria, but the commercial interest has no opportunity to affect who or how much is received, and there is no mechanism to track specifically what income is used to pay for which speaker’s expenses, barring the supporter from specifying a dollar allocation to a specific individual.

7. ANA does use funding from all sources (commercial and non-commercial) to pay for meals offered during the CME event, but these are buffet-style offerings and not offered as a mechanism for any commercial interest to market or otherwise promote their products.

8. If ANA supplies an attendee list to the commercial interest, it is accompanied by an appropriate use agreement.

9. ANA does not host social events or meals that compete with education.

10. Employees of commercial supporters and sponsors, while entitled to attend CME events as learners, are prohibited from soliciting members or handing out materials, giveaways in any area where CME is being held.

11. Employees of commercial supporters and/or sponsors are prohibited from participating in CME planning or implementation.

12. Individuals wishing to participate as planners, faculty, and/or reviewers for CME receiving non-salary remuneration from commercial supporters or sponsors are required to disclose this to ANA, at which point ANA will work with the individual to determine the degree to which they may participate in CME planning and implementation, and if and how these relationships are disclosed to learners. (See http://myana.org/ana-financial-disclosure-policy for ANA’s policy and mechanism for collecting information from all individuals in a position to control the content of CME)

13. ANA designates spaces to be used for promotion, exhibiting, and/or advertising; these are maintained as separate and distinct areas, either on the website or during live events, and there is no contamination between these spaces and those where CME is offered or provided.

14. Commercial supporters and sponsors, while they may advertise, promote, and/or solicit in the exhibit hall or public spaces, are prohibited from any of these activities in the areas where CME is provided. ANA leadership designees monitor the educational spaces to ensure compliance.

15. The source of support for CME activities is disclosed to the learners prior to the start of CME activities. This disclosure will not contain any logos, trade messages, or branding or any sort. Disclosure of funding is accomplished by listing, in plain text font, the organizations providing funding or in-kind support on an ANA provided slide for live presentations or on a page preceding the online education. ANA leadership designees monitor the educational spaces to ensure compliance.

16. All materials used as a part of the education will adhere to ANA’s templates and standards, and further, no logos, branding, trade messages, or alike are permitted on any materials used in conjunction with a CME activity or distributed as a part of an activity. ANA leadership designees monitor the educational spaces to ensure compliance.
